Cyberpunk: a science fiction genre noted for its focus on 'high tech' and 'low life'. Cyberpunk plots often center around hackers, artificial intelligences, and megacorporations that tend to be set in near-future Earth rather than far-future settings.
"Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body." Lawrence Person
